Mackenzie Hagan (middle) and Emily Bondank (right), two undergraduate interns mentored by Dr. Krajmalnik-Brown (left), had excerpts of their end of semester summaries published on the Fulton Undergraduate Research Initiative (FURI) website. Mackenzie and Emily had projects funded on reductive dechlorination from the FURI program and presented posters in the Spring 2014 symposium. Click on their names to check out highlights from Mackenzie and Emily's project summaries.

It's a busy week for SCEB members. Some members are attending Battelle's Ninth International Conference on Remediation of Chlorinated and Recalcitrant Compounds in Monterey, CA. Check back for highlights!

A recent opinion article in Nature discusses the research of Dr. Krajmalnik-Brown on the potential role of gut microbes on obesity. The article is written by Sarah DeWeerdt, a freelance science writer based in Seattle, Washington. DeWeerdt interviewed Dr. Krajmalnik-Brown, as well as co-PI, Dr. Bruce Rittmann, and collaborator, Dr. Rob Knight. Read more at Nature.com.

The Fulton Undergraduate Research Initiative (FURI) Symposium is a highlight every semester in the Krajmalnik-Brown Lab and the Swette Center for Environmental Biotechnology. Our engineering undergraduate researchers present their work to their peers, faculty, friends and family. A few photo's from today's event.
